Chapter 367

Finnian immediately noticed the new transaction. He didn’t even need to investigate; he could already guess what Ophelia was up to this time. After seeing the trending Twitter post, he knew Ophelia had used her secret account to taunt Lydia. He thought she was utterly stupid.

And now Ophelia was transferring money to the same account as before. There was no doubt she was paying the Voodoo Warlock to target Lydia. Finnian had no words for his wife’s stupidity anymore, just exhaustion. He didn’t want to put up with this foolish woman any longer.

Because of his public persona and the need to avoid alarming her, he couldn’t directly warn Elliot. Instead, he passed the information to his younger son. That way, Reece could alert the Jenkins brothers, ensuring Elliot would find out.

Reece felt the same exhaustion after hearing his father’s update. His mother just kept making more trouble. And on top of that, he was shocked to learn that she had been running a secret Twitter account just to flaunt her wealth for years. He found it unbelievable and awkward. If the elite social circles found out, the humiliation would be unbearable.

His first thought was to contact Phoebe. But after returning the show’s phone, he realized he was still blocked. Frustrated, he turned to the group chat Leon had set up earlier. Tagging Phoebe, he sent a message: [I just got word. The Voodoo Warlock might be targeting Lydia next.]

Phoebe hadn’t replied yet, but Leon was already stunned. [What Voodoo Warlock? Why is someone after my mom?] He and Joshua were still abroad, hanging out after the reality show ended.

Reece: [Ask Jamar. He knows the details. And by the way, tell your mom to be careful.]

Leon: [What?] His mother was involved in a mess again. Exiting the chat, he immediately called Jamar for an explanation.

Meanwhile, Phoebe had just seen Reece’s message. It was exactly what she had anticipated. With Ophelia’s personality, she would suspect Lydia of setting her up. She wouldn’t be able to hold back and would definitely retaliate. And since she couldn’t use conventional methods, she’d resort to supernatural means. After all, whether she was targeting one person or two, it was just a matter of paying extra.

Raylan saw Phoebe’s sly smile as she read the message. He could not help but ask, “You pulled something off again, didn’t you?”

Phoebe looked up. “Don’t you think your curiosity is a bit much!” She hadn’t expected him to be this type of person. His image in her mind had gone from an aloof, untouchable immortal to an ordinary gossip-loving mortal.

Kaylan, however, no longer cared about maintaining a cold and distant persona in front of her. After spending so much time together, pretending to be indifferent was just tiring. He said, “I’ve lived this long. If I don’t enjoy a little drama, wouldn’t that be boring! Come on, spill.”

Phoebe smirked and said, “Reece just messaged in the group. Apparently, the Voodoo Warlock is now after Lydia.”

Raylan’s brow lifted. “This was part of your plan too, wasn’t it?” Phoebe didn’t bother denying it. “That’s right! Lydia tried to get my hair for Ophelia’s schemes before.”

“Now she gets to experience firsthand what it’s like to be cursed. Her status makes it unlikely that the warlock will try to kill her.” But after getting cursed, Lydia wouldn’t have a good time. Some lessons could only be learned through pain. Lydia took Phoebe’s hair and kept reassuring herself that nothing would happen. Now, it was time for Lydia to taste the same medicine and comfort herself afterward.

Raylan gave Phoebe a thumbs-up. “That was brilliant. You set the trap perfectly.” She had effortlessly led Lydia and Ophelia into a pit, making them tear each other apart. Meanwhile, as the mastermind, she sat back and enjoyed the show. Getting on her bad side would only bring a disaster.

Phoebe chuckled. “The internet and the Jenkins family are going to be lively these next few days.”

Raylan laughed. “No doubt about it.”

At the hospital, Lydia had been bombarded with phone calls and messages from relatives and friends. She had also learned about the trending topic on Twitter. Her gaze snapped to Jamar Jenkins. “Did you leak the video?”

Jamar, who had also seen the trending post, looked completely innocent. “No, I didn’t. Maybe it was Mrs. Hill? She might’ve had security cameras in her room.”

“Otherwise, why would the Twitter account that posted the video either blur her face or edit her out?” Lydia had suspected as much. She immediately ordered an investigation into the Twitter account. It didn’t take long for her assistant to respond.

After reading the report, Lydia couldn’t hold back her anger. “That bitch! She did this on purpose!” The account belonged to Ophelia. Lydia thought it must be her doing. She had deliberately exposed the video to humiliate Lydia in high society.

Lydia couldn’t believe she had once considered Ophelia a friend, and had even helped her in the past.

Elliot was equally angry. “Is this woman insane? She just won’t stop. Leon just called Jamar and said that the Voodoo Warlock might be coming after you next. I’ve arranged for the private jet. We’re leaving for Solara City by the day after tomorrow at the latest.” He didn’t want to take any chances. Better to leave before anything happened. Back in Solara City, they would be on their own turf. Even if the Voodoo Warlock followed them, he could always hire a Jenkins Group horoscope master to counter him.

Lydia was shaken. “Is she out of her mind?” Not only had Ophelia ruined her reputation with that video, but she had even hired a warlock to curse her. A mix of fear and fury burned inside her. She snapped, “That bitch really thinks I’m an easy target? I won’t let this slide.”

She immediately had Jamar send her the video. Then she forwarded it to her assistant, instructing them to spread it online. Lydia made sure the public narrative pinned everything on Ophelia, ensuring she would face full-blown internet outrage.

Next, she called her parents. She recounted all of Ophelia’s recent schemes against her and asked for their help, the Lyons family. She knew Ophelia was attached to her maternal family. Lately, Ophelia had been running around begging for favors on their behalf, completely overwhelmed. Lydia decided to start her revenge right there. If Ophelia cared so much about her family, then she would make sure to destroy them.
